re: #163 Chrysicat

I’m right in the sweet spot for GOP demographics (white male, 50s, reasonably well off) except that I’m gay. Even without that, the US right’s ever-increasing embrace of weaponized stupidity would most likely have driven me away from the GOP.

But being gay made it certain. There really are only two kinds of Republicans on that issue: the ones who want to exterminate non-straights, and the ones who will do nothing to stop the first group from having their way. The second group being much larger in numbers than the first group cuts no ice with me.

Self-preservation brings a certain focus to political issues.
